[@misterpatina]

Ive never seen such a weird (but pretty nice and interesting) christmas stand! You, sir, did a nice job on it - i really like your video editing skills! Keep it up!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you for this great comment! It means a lot to me to read this from you!

[@markfurlong3094]

Thank you for reviving this lovely, historic piece. As you said, it's not a perfect restoration, but what you did was much more important and touching...you restored its dignity.

[@mskayla7747]

Beautifully done. So happy to see it was refreshed rather than redone. 🙂

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you very much!

[@restorationmt6286]

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Me parece una preciosidad de base para el árbol, me encanta!!! Es una pasada. Enhorabuena 😉

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

I would shoot that thing after about ten seconds of that music, but nicely done on the restoration!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

The music is actually quite tolerable...🐢

[@valmonta3647]

Awesome find and restoration was done perfectly

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Hey Valmont A. Thank you!

A very interesting stand for a Christmas tree. Very well and professionally restored. And she again began to delight people with her Christmas melody. You are a professional.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you for this wonderful comment!

That was awesome; I’ve never seen anything like that. I really appreciate the technology from 120 years ago. One request: When you use a product, could you please put the English equivalent? My German is non-existent; sorry. Thanks for the video!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you very much for your great Feedback!

We have a German DRGM (on the base) of a Christmas tree music box stand that needs one comb 1 1/2 inches that plays Silent Night. Do you know where we can find one? It also lacks the holder for the tree stand. It is very similar to what you have refinished. All we need is the comb part since there are several tines missing.

That's so cool, I wish I had one.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

This is actually a beautiful Christmas tree stand. There is a company around here that sells something for a mere 3000 € 🙈

[@stranger48481]

You are a super master!!!!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you!

[@ronaldsantosjapan]

I would've gone with gilding or at least gold paint on the black painted part, BUT a great resto once again none the less.

[@oneshotme]

Looks great and a great job on restoring it!! Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thanks!

[@oneshotme]

@@ForgottenShineRestoration You're welcome!

[@Asubuhi]

You did a very good job on this thing. Pls. relax the spring bevore you open the screws. If not some gears can be damaged. Did you put some oil on the Pivots? ❤️❤️👍👍😎

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Yes that I have unfortunately not considered during disassembly, again happens to me not... What do you mean by pilots?

[@Asubuhi]

@@ForgottenShineRestoration sorry its a mistake i meant pivots,axis.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Yes, inside everything is oiled

[@GHOULTIDE]

I'm looking for a replacement part for mine. Searching for the pinecone (if possible) tree holder with screws.

I have one of these that played silent night. It came from my grandmother and played all through my childhood until a year ago. Where would you recommend me getting it looked at to see why it won’t play?

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

This is really great. I would give it to a locksmith. Not much can break, maybe the spring? or The feelers are loose... It has something to do with metal, so a locksmith 🐢

[@hectorlao8604]

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU BRO!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@stranger48481]

Who should I sell the same one to? Fully working with music.

[@FishHeadly1]

Flohliche Weihnachten RV23

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you likewise

[@oneshotme]

FYI Over time WD-40 gets sticky and gums up. So on future projects you might want to use some other kind of lubricant. Just thought you might want to know that

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Oh ok. Thank you very much for your hint! I will consider that in the future ...

[@oneshotme]

@@ForgottenShineRestoration You're welcome! I've had problems with it doing that with a latch in my older car door and older people told me about it

[@Cringey_moth]

Do u live in germany ?
